A video has gone viral of a woman proposing to her police officer girlfriend during the parade and it's really very sweet. The couple, who according to the BBC don't want to be publicly named, are from London and have been together for five years. The moment perfectly encapsulated the parade's motto, #LoveHappensHere, and received a ton of messages of love all over social media.

This isn't Pride's first viral proposal however. Last year, police officer Phil Adlem proposed to his boyfriend and despite it being a very happy moment, last month Adlem penned an essay in The Guardian revealing the abuse he had received afterwards. He used the piece to highlight just how important Pride remains when homophobic hatred is still very much alive.

"The overt and continuous support from people outside our community is vital to protecting our rights from an angry backlash by people who consider themselves to be the shunned “silent majority”," he wrote. "For every person who wants to attend Pride there is a reason why it is still important. And if rising statistics of violent crime, the torture of gay men in Chechnya or the physical bullying of children has not swayed someone that Pride is as essential as ever, then this short opinion piece certainly won’t. But when the LGBT community has been forced to cope with violence, criminalisation and persecution for decades, everyone should be able to cope with the existence of Pride without attacking it’s validity or creating a “straight pride” under a deluded notion of equality."
